Excerpt from Screen Acting
In her travels and through her amazing - to put it mildly - correspondence, the motion picture star finds that there is everywhere a great curiosity about screen acting.
What does it require? What, if any, are its mysteries? What system of detail is there that permits fifty-two hundred feet of celluloid ribbon to spin smoothly past the eye to make an interesting story?
I look upon this book as an answer to the thousands of letters I have received in the past several years asking as many thousands of questions. A motion picture star"s most intimate audience, after all, is her correspondence.
There comes to her sometimes the vague realization that in a dozen different countries little children, their sisters, their brothers and their parents may be, at one moment, viewing her image upon the screen in a dozen different plays. It is all too stupendous; too impersonal. But though she cannot be a breathing part of these audiences she learns often what is in the hearts of many. This message comes through the mails; that is her broad point of contact with her international public.
